  • Title: Enterobacteriaceae identification compared by MORLOC (a new system) and API 20E.
    Author: Branson D.
    Journal: Am J Med Technol; 1976 Aug; 42(8):267-76. PubMed ID: 961710.
    Abstract:
    Identifications of 201 Enterobacteriaceae isolates were compared by MORLOC (a new system) and the API 20E system. Identifications agreed for 192 isolates (95.5 per cent). Of the nine discrepancies, MORLOC was correct for four, API for three; neither for one; and for one, MORLOC agreed with the reference laboratory but apparently all three systems were incorrect. The MORLOC system requires an extra day for a TSI but is smaller and simpler and can be recommended as easier to use, more reproducible, less expensive, and, in this study, more accurate than the API 20E.
